Boundingbox.width (height, depth) related to global axes?

NewOne

Hello people!
In atempt to get a component's dimension I used:


...
z = bbox.depth
x = bbox.width
y = bbox.height
...

But I've seen that depth, width and height are not related to component's axes, but to global axes!
see the links: http://bayimg.com/FAlhMaAbk and http://bayimg.com/fAlHoAABk
Same component, rotated in drawing space returned different dimensions. (see result in Ruby Console)
I want to get axes-based dimendions of the component (component's axes). If blue is on 50mm edge, I want to have z=50mm, and so on.
Does somebody have some ideas about how can be this done?

Thanks!

Use the bounding box from the definition

componentinstance.definition.bounds

Note: if your component instance is scaled you will need to scale the bounds the same amount.
